1. Connect the controller's Tx terminals to the Tx terminals in the power supply box. See
the MIC Series Power Supplies Installation Manual for complete wiring instructions.
2. Pan or tilt the keyboard joystick to confirm that control has been established to the
camera (approximately five (5) seconds).
5.2 Powering On
When you turn on power to the camera, a splash screen or text displays the type of device
(MIC612), the camera model, the video type (PAL or NTSC), the firmware version, and (if
applicable) the MAC address.
5.3 Controlling the Camera
The most common ways to control the MIC612 are:
– Using a keyboard and on-screen display (OSD) menus. This method is the most common.
See Section 5.3.1 Basic Keyboard Operation, page 31.
– Using the Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices (CTFID) software running on a PC with
Bilinx or the RS-232/RS-485 communication protocol. Go to www.boschsecurity.com to
download the latest version of the software and the CTFID User Manual.
– Using a PC-based graphical user interface (GUI).

CAUTION!
Bosch recommends that multiple RS-485 connections be arranged as a connected series of
point-to-point (multidropped) nodes, as a line or as a bus. It is not recommended to arrange
RS-485 connections as a star, ring, or as a multiple-connected network. Star and ring
topologies may cause signal reflections or excessively low or high termination impedance.
